MM HF or Sell Side ER out of undergrad?
In final year of undergrad and have an offer from a MM HF and an offer from a SS ER firm.
I want to go into HF, but I'm concerned that I'll be pigeon holed into a pod predicting EPS each quarter- which I don't think I'll have much of an edge doing. At the same time, it would be a huge shortcut to get into this firm right after undergrad, so I'm thinking that even if I'm fired after a couple years I would have a good exit.
At the SS ER firm I know that I will have a lot more help developing skills, and understand that people do exit to hedge funds after 2-3 years- would be interested to hear any takes on this.
I'd appreciate any advice, thank you!
The MLP program is def better than Wolfe or Bernstein or Moffett. Its not ideal rotating with UBS cause I personally dont like their SS ER but still.
Thanks, appreciate the advice!
Take the MM, this honestly shouldn't be a question
My main concern is about where junior analysts go after a stint at a MM - would appreciate any insight into this.
I like SS ER because you can exit into HF/AM/ Corporates etc, and the training is more comprehensive. How much optionality am I losing if I go with the MM, and if I'm decided on going into HFs, would choosing the MM limit the strategies I can exit into? I heard that some funds won't touch analysts who worked at MMs because of the impression that they just predict eps every quarter.
